emma_in_dreamLast month I finished the Harry Potter series. I find the ending quite hard to understand because they do that thing which people always do in adventures where they refuse to share any information.
It makes sense to keep the whole Horcrux thing a secret when Dumbledore asks Harry to. At that point they are trying to surprise Voldemort. But at the point when Voldemort is attacking Hogwarts because he knows that the Trio have destroyed several of his Horcruxes, surely at that point it is the time to share the information.
While in the Room of Requirement do you not quickly say, 'Ravenclaws, he has a Horcrux hidden in an object associated with your house. Any ideas? Get on it?
Also, we need to destory this Horcrux here. Please volunteer to do that.
Also, we need to kill the snake before we go for Voldemort. Concentrate on getting the snake and Harry will go after the king pin.
This way we have the best chance of success.'
For goodness sakes, what is the point of hoarding the information when you can increase your chance of winning and improve the odds of your allies surviving?
